this is my first fanfiction or posting my writings online, so please give honest feedback!

Haruhi was having a bad day. Her alarm clock broke so she woke up late so she was late to school and missed a test in her first class. Hikaru and Kaoru wouldn't stop harassing her, and Kyoya raised her debt for every little mistake. But it was finally the end of the day. The customers had all left, though they did resist for about 5 minutes, Tamaki got them to go after he promised to dance with them tomorrow, which means dance party for the Coplay. Haruhi had just finished the dishes when Takashi came into the kitchen.

"Oh, Mori-senpai, I've already finished dishes so there's nothing else that needs to be done." Haruhi says, drying the last tea cup. Takashi nods in agreement and turns to leave, but stops when he sees Haruhi struggling to put the tea cup on the top shelf.

"Here" he says, retrieving the cup from Haruhi and placing it soundlessly on the shelf

"Thanks senpai." Haruhi says, suddenly aware of how close her senpai was to her. She turns to leave but Takashi holds her gently by the crook of her arm. She turns to him surprised.

"Y-yes senpai?" Haruhi asks, the touch of his hand sent shivers down her spine.

"Don't slip." Takashi said, but behind his casual voice Haruhi could hear a little nervousness. She looked down to see there was a puddle of water there, probably from when she was washing dishes, that she hadn't seen before.

"oh, thank you senpai." Haruhi replied, stepping around the puddle, as she moves away Takashi's hand slipped from where he had been holding her, suddenly Haruhis' arm felt cold, as if his hand was the only thing keeping it warm. She moves to the door of the kitchen and pushes it open, before leaving she turns back to Takashi.

"Thanks senpai." She said, smiling at him. She left right after, not noticing the blush on his face.

Haruhi had always liked Takashi. He was the only one who treated her normally. Tamaki treated her like his daughter, Hikaru and Kaoru treated her as a toy, Kyoya treated her like a servant, and even Hunny treated her more like a mother or older sister, but that was probably only because of his childishness. Even though most of the host club liked her, Takashi and Kyoya are the only ones who didn't show it. But Kyoya did dabble is time wasters like love, so Takashi was the only one truly interested, but still completely hidden.

Takashi wasn't a man of many words, and Haruhi was oblivious to anything not spelled out right in front of her. So neither knew of the others feelings.
